Id say love was a magical thing
Id say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there
Had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I dont dare
No I dont dare

Cause Ive never come close
In all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And Im so scared
Im so scared

Take me back in time
Maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner

(You can't keep holding it in when it's something good)

Hey, this won't take much time
We won't touch, we'll just wait for signs
And nothing was further from my mind
Than this moment with you

But if you'd only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
If I'd only seen it sooner
But what a way with your hands you had
I wanted that moment with you

I know that is wrong

One day you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
The next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around, yeah
One day you make me feel like your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
The next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around

Looking for some education
made my way into the night
all that bullshit conversation
well baby can't you read the signs?

I won't bore you with the details baby
I don't even want to waste your time
let's just say that maybe
you could help to ease my mind
baby, I ain't Mr. Right

But if you're looking for fastlove
if that's love in your eyes
it's more than enough
had some bad love

I won't let you down, I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down, so please don't give me up
Cause I would really, really love to stick around, oh yeah

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me

Turn down the light
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Dont patronize
Dont patronize me

Cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power
But you wont
No you wont

'Cause I cant make you love me

Oh so much love, that you've never seen
Let's make love, put your trust in me (hmm)
Don't you listen to what they told you
Because I love you, let me hold you

Oh, I'm not your brother
I'm not your father
Oh will you ever change your mind?
I'm a gentle lover with a heart of gold
But baby you've been so unkind...oh

Come on
I want your sex
Come on, I want your sex

So you want to be free
To live your life the way you wanna be
Will you give if we cry
Will we live or will we die

Tainted hearts heal with time
Shoot bad love so we can
Stop the bleeding

Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give
Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live

I think I'm done with the sofa
I think I'm done with the hall
I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside (let's go outside) in the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yeah
Let's go outside in the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best

So my angel, she says, don't you worry
'bout the things they're saying, yeah

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last, look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much, but we'll take our chances
Cause god's stopped keeping score

Five o'clock in the morning you ain't home
I can't help thinking that's strange
Baby I just want you to know I won't go through this again
Yes, those clouds are closing in

Chorus:
And I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear of what may be
And the lessons that I learned ...
I would rather be alone than watch you spinning that wheel for me

Star people
Counting your money until your soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may have been living in a dream
It's just that there seems so many of you
Can't help but hope there's a difference between you and me

And if I live to be a hundred and one
I will never understand what you are, honey?
I'm looking for sympathy

Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize people I care for

Take my dreams
Chldish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse, please just be there for me

The things that I know nobody told me
The seeds that are sown they still control me

Chorus:
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing is I cannot seem to get my eyes open

Hey, you're just too funky for me
I gotta get inside of you
And I'll show you heaven if you let me
Hey you just too funky for me
I gotta get inside (I gotta get inside)
I gotta get inside of you (So when will that be?)

I watch your fingers working overtime (Overtime)
I got to thinking that they should be mine (Oh!)
I'd love to see you naked baby
I'd like to think that maybe

So every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while, and try to take your place
My memory (my memory) serves me far too well

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a fool boy, why don't you go down find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory (my meory) serves me far too well

It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday
